A problem of plenty.....plenty of people that is....

India has a problem of plenty. And this plenty refers to the massive Indian population. This has put a tremendous strain on the resources and also the infrastructure. It is a well known fact that India's infrastructure is incapable of meeting the population's needs. But what is even more worrying is that not too much has been done to correct this absolute lack of infrastructure and basic facilities. Until something is done about this, the Indian population will remain a problem and not a resource. There has been a lack of political willpower in promoting infrastructural growth. A great percentage of the population is still illiterate. Basic medical facilities are absent in some interior villages in the country. This has lead obviously to a poor standard of health among the rural population. India's problem isn't just about plenty of people, but it is also 'a problem of plenty of problems' ! Most of these problems exist in developing countries. But in the case of India, these problems and concerns are accentuated because of its huge population which is well over a billion. Creating infrastructure is the key. Unless that is done, our buses and trains will be jam-packed, our resources will prove to be insufficient, our streets will be congested and in short everything in this country will come to a grinding halt.
So if there was ever a good time to make amends, it is now. Our governments coffers are overflowing with cash. Its time they spent some of it on things that can turn this 'problem' into a resource.
